Classroom rules are important for students. With the rules, students know how to behave(表现) at school. So they need to know about the rules at the beginning of a new term. Usually schools and teachers make the rules. But some classes try a different way.

43 students of Class 12, Senior 1 in Wuhan No. 6 High School made their classroom rules. Each student wrote down the rules that they thought could help make their class a good one. Then they talked about the rules. And some rules were added (增加),while others were rephrased (改写) or taken out. The rule-making activity lasted about a month. Finally the class had 30 rules. And then the rule-makers wrote down their names on the rule poster (海报). After that, they put up the poster on the wall. "No fighting", 'No phone calls in class" and" No running in the classroom and hallways" are three examples.

The rules work well in the classroom because students think they are the rule-makers and they have to follow them.
